Cosmos Designer Error

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Richard Charney, Jul 28, 2008.

  1. Has anybody else, that is using Cosmos Designer, seen this error message pop
    up?

    PCG iterative solver stopped
    Status Code:6 INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY

    No result saved


    I've never had it pop up before. You would thinking having 2Gb of memory
    would be enough to NOT have this happen.

    Sure have seen it. How big is your model in terms of nodes and
    elements? Can you post a picture of the mesh?

  3. Total number of nodes = 98630
    Total number of elements = 61247

    I suspect that a <GAK> is in order.

  5. A GAK?

    What's that?

  6. I took someone elses suggestion and removed all the small fillets and rounds
    that aren't needed and now I'm getting a different problem.

    Something called STAR crashes and then I get an error box saying;

    ID array file (.IDA) missing

    Now I'm even more lost than I was before.

    I wouldn't necessarily call that an extraordinarily large model.
    What kind of analysis are you trying to run?

    Try putting all your internal fillets back in, leave out external
    or cosmetic (unless cosmetic is internal [re-entrant corner]),
    remesh and try again.

    Not sure what a status code 6 or STAR is, but I'm guessing
    you've set up something thats not converging, the solution
    is going "out of core" and you probably don't have alot of
    free space on your drive.
